Shimba Lodge - Shimba Hills Game Reserve, Coast Hotels and Lodges
Address:
P.O. Box 83 80403, Mombasa, Kwale, Kenya
Description:
This award-winning tree lodge was built in 1986 in Shimba National Reserve, Kenya 's last remaining habitat of the Rare Sable Antelope. Despite being so close to the Indian Oacen, the lodge stays refreshingly cool in its forest setting. The lodge overlooks a waterhole and is a bird- and animal-watcher's paradise. Dramatic black and white Colobus Monkeys, herds of Elephant and graceful Giraffes are often seen at Shimba. For the very fortunate, the Leopard will make a rare appearance. A wooden walkway extending 120 m into the forest takes nature lovers to a viewing spot that allows for the unobtrusive viewing of birds and butterflies. Other adventures include a visit to Sheldrick Falls, or an evening game drive followed by a walk through the forest that ends with drinks and snacks in a glade. You can view the Usambara Mountains in Tanzania from the sundowner site. All rooms have balconies overlooking the waterhole. The lodge also boasts a restaurant on a covered verandah, frequented by Bush Babies in search of tit bits. Enjoy the achingly beautiful sunsets and sunrises at the lodge's sundowner site. Shimba is located very close to the wild animals. For this reason, children under the age of 5 are not allowed at the lodge, both for their safety and to maintain the quiet of the environment.
Children: 16 and under

The park has over a thousand species of plants some endemic to the area. With a lineage of over 200 million years the Cycad is a palm like plant of the forest undergrowth. Shimba is only habitat of the magnificent Sable antelope in the country. Other regular visitors to Shimba are herds of African Elephants, Buffaloes, Giraffes, and Colobus monkey and Bushbabies. Carnivores include leopard and spotted hyena.
Walk to Sheldrick Falls Deep in the national reserve is a spectacular breathtaking 82 foot waterfall with a natural plunge pool. A shower in the cool clean waters of the fall or a dip in the pool is quiet refreshing after the walk. As you walk following the trail, the ranger or naturalist will educate you on the rich flora and fauna found in the park. You may spot some of those rare butterflies including Acraea aubyni an orange black butterfly that flies slowly. This is about a 45 minute gentle walk from the drop off point and one must be accompanied by our naturalist or KWS ranger.
